With the 9th Pick in the 2025 draft, who should the Saints select? (merged)

Yes, our only chance is to trade up and i wouldn't mind if we did. Games are still won on the LOS. It doesn't
matter how loaded you are at the skills position

Look what Aaron Donald did and Jalen Carter is doing for the Eagles currently. We all complain about
not resigning Baun,but he didnt have a Carter here that let him roam and make plays

I don't want to trade up because I think this team desperately needs draft picks to build depth, but you are right that with our DL instead of Philly's DL, Baun wouldn't be as good. And maybe Werner would look better if we had a better DL to keep him clean. But, hopefully we can add a big DT after the first if Graham doesn't fall to #9.
